Been revisiting my old Batman comics recently, and been getting a little more involved in the world of the Dark Knight. I tend to stick to the characters I followed most as a kid, as far as comics go, and for me it has always been Spidey and Bats, 1 and 1a in my book. Outside of Batman, I never really read too many DC Comics, although I don't have problems with their characters either (Superman, Green Lantern, any Justice League characters are cool with me too). It does seem that DC has done a better job overall of bringing their characters to the small screen (shows like Smallville, Justice League (Unlimited), Batman: The Animated Series, etc.), but Marvel has all but dominated the big screen offerings. That said however, outside of a certain Star Wars movie, Batman Begins is definitely my most anticipated movie coming up. I'll definitely be checking out that Fantastic Four movie as well.
Anyways, if anyone else has additional comments as to their favorite characters/teams, etc., feel free to post them. Its always fun to see who other people enjoy, and why.
1. Batman
1a. Spider-Man
2. X-Men (favorites past and present have been Beast, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Cyclops)
3. Justice League/Super Friends, etc. (outside of Bats, I like Superman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Hawk and Dove, Captain Atom, pretty much the whole team is pretty neat.)
4. Avengers (I was most into Iron Man as a kid, but always like Captain America too. I don't know much about Hawkeye, but I think he seems/looks like a cool character....unfortunate what has recently happened, at least according to what I have read here)
5. Fantastic Four (I never really read their comic specifically, but they appeared in various other places. Seems like a comic/team I could get into though, looking forward to the movie)
There are others that are neat as well, but these are the ones I can think of most prominently off hand. I think if I had a little more disposable income, I could get into reading comics more now than I currently do. I pick up a couple of Spidey comics (Amazing, Ultimate) now and then, and I'm looking into some Batman ones as well now (might start off with Superman/Batman actually). The "Avengers Disassembled" storyline seems kind of neat too, and I was tempted to pick it up...but ended up passing. I've also been looking at Star Wars: Empire, but unfortunately couldn't find it at the local comic shop when I stopped in.
